<br>Replace it. If you are talking about a split-bus panel then my understanding is that they are no longer code-compliant. I'm sure there are wrenches on this list that are much more familiar with these panels than I am, but every electrician and inspector that I've talked to about them have advocated for replacement.<br>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>We are bidding an 8kW grid tied PV system that will interconnect with a "split panel". The panel has a main lug on the top portion and branch circuits on the lower portion. Does anyone have experience with backfeedig these panels? What's the best method? </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
